invoke 2 sub function simultaneouly (files comparison)
I have C:\software and D:\software
Now i knew that some files name inside the D:\software is not same
with D:\softare
So i need to do file comparison between C:\softare\*.* and D:\software\*.*
Now i need to invoke 2 function call simultaneouly, 1 function to check
C:\software\ and another to check D:\software\ , then it will detect if any files in D:\
not the same with C:\
I need help on how to invoke 2 sub function simultaneouly !
( i am using 'for each f1 in fso.......next' method to go through the files
1 by 1)

Or
Set fld1 = FSO.GetFolder("c:\software
Set fld2= FSO.GetFolder("d\software"
For i = 1 to fld1.Files.count
fil1 = fld1.Files.Item(i)
fil2 = fld2.Files.Item(i)
next i

You could also try the WinDiff utility...

If you want the file lists of two folders simulatiously, you can put two FileListBoxes on a form. Set the path of one FileListBox to one of the folders and the other FileListBox to the other folder. Then you can compare the two lists you get using the List function, something like
If File1.ListCount <> File1.ListCount Then
(code for not even the same number of files)
End If
For X = 1 to File1.ListCount
If File1.List(X)<>File2.List(
(code for files not the same here)
End If
Next X
If File1.ListCount <> File1.ListCount Then
(code for not even the same number of files)
End If
For X = 1 to File1.ListCount
If File1.List(X)<>File2.List(
(code for files not the same here)
End If
Next X
Comment on my own answer:
I made a small mistake in typing in the answer. Because the FileListBox control numbers its contents starting from 0, the For statement should read
For X = 0 to File1.ListCount-1
Otherwise, you do not get a comparison on the first file in the list. (Oddly enough, you do not get a crash when trying to read the nonexistant item at the end.) Sorry about the mistake.

well if u want to use both the functions at the same time...then u would have to use multithreading.. which i dont know how it is done explicilty tru vb... but i certainly know how to do it using api calls in combination with the addressof operator...
this allows both the functions to run at the same time on independent threads
i hope this helps u..need more info.....i am listening...

I would probably go with Ark's 2nd comment, or my 1st comment.

Or during enumeration you can replace first path ("c:\software") with second "d:\software" and check with dir if file exist.
